WOLFGANG INDI

Indi is without a doubt the sweetest horse you could ever meet, he is exceptionally kind and 150% genuine in every way.

He stands 16.2hh, has 8 3/4 inches of  bone and is a totally stunning very dark liver chestnut tobiano, with superb, even markings.

Indi is by the wonderful WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART and out of a mare by SOVEREIGN FAIR (grade A sj)

I bought Indi as a weanling from his breeder, Sue Fox, in October 2002, at just 4 and a half months old, along with two brothers and a sister. They were delivered to my yard and herded off the lorry and urged to follow my old pony to the stable where they were to go.

They all followed without a fuss and i was then the proud owner of Wolfgang Rythum n Blues, Wolfgang Jazz, Wolfgang Serenade and of course Wolfgang Indi.

They were all pretty much unhandled and i set to work taming them!! Jazz and Sherry (Serenade) were quick to come round and they soon were wearing headcollars and rugs and being brushed,etc. Blue and Indi weren't so sure, but came round in the end with some persuasion from a bucket of food!

We decided that we should cut down on numbers so we decided to sell Blue and Sherry. Sherry we part exchanged back to her breeder for Jazz's mum Juno and his full sister, Wolfgang All That Jazz. And Blue we sold through an advert in Horse and Hound.

Unfortunately Jazz contracted pneumonia and we made the very hard decision to end his suffering, but we still have Indi and All That Jazz (Lily), among others! who are now 5 and 4 yrs old.

Indi has grown up to be a stunning young man with great conformation and the most incredible temprement to match, coupled with a childlike cheeky streak! He also is blessed by talent and the brain to compete and win. This he has already proven in the 7 shows he has been to in his life!

He attended two local rc in hand shows at 1yr and 3yrs and was placed in both the coloured and youngstock classes he did on both occasions.

Indi wouldnt be here today without my brilliant vet Nicky Brown and the best freelance surgeon David Platt. In March 06 Indi was diagnosed with a double joint infection in his knee.

 It wasn't good news to begin with, i was advised seriously think about having him put down. I wasn't having that so he was taken to ANVIL VETS in Copsale, West Sussex on Tuesday 28th March to have tests and x rays etc to see the extent of the damage. I was warned that he would probably only be 'field sound' if he made it through the op at all, and he'd probably never be able to do anything but cover mares and be a pet. That was fine for me as long as he was happy and had a good quality of life.

Indi was operated on the next day by two keyhole surgery's by the wonderful David and my fantastic vet Nicky put him under and monitered him throughout. Nicky described Indi as 'the model patient' being textbook throughout his anestetic and op. Indi then spent the next two weeks at the vets being fussed over and was loving it!

I was allowed to take him home then and he was to be on box rest for 4 weeks then in hand leading at a walk for a further 6 weeks. We got to week 2 into his box rest and he was racing round the stable bucking, so i asked Nicky if i could start the in hand walking early! She came and checked him, by which time he was off all painkillers and completely sound and i was allowed to start his walking.

I thought i'd start him in the school as the surface is soft and would reduce the concussion on his legs, we did this successfully for a week. Then out of the blue i took him in the school as normal and he decided to jump the 4 foot 6 ins post and rail fence with a bl**dy great ditch the other side into the field next door! I must say he jumped it beautifully!! I rang Nicky straight away and she just said 'wow that brilliant'!!!

I started riding him soon after that and we havent looked back! He has never had a days lameness and most people cant even tell which knee it was!!! Just shows how fantastic Nicky and David really are, and how tough my lovely little horse is!! Nicky did a flexion test on him late last year (06) and she was amazed! There isnt even any resistance in the joint! He may have arthritus in his teens, but then arthritus is pretty certian for most horses that work, later in their lives! Without Nicky, David and the marvellous team at Anvil Equine Veterinary Clinic my lovely horse would not be with us. So thank you Anvil's. XX

As a 4 yr old Indi went to his first ridden show. He did a showjumping class, which he jumped round like he'd been doing it all his life, and went double clear. He also did the riding club horse showing class, which he was placed 5th out of 24! He had never had anyone else but me ride him and the judge said 'he rode green but he is the most genuine and willing horse i've sat on all day'. We were in that ring for over two hours, stood between a scatty mare and a gelding, and Indi stood and went to sleep!!!

The next event Indi went to was the local rc's 'eventers challenge'. I put him in the novice as  he'd never seen a x country fence in his life! Bless him, he jumped round like a true pro and didnt look at a thing. And as an added bonus he won it!!!

Next he went to the local rc x country. I put him in the advanced novice as the smaller novice class didnt have the water in it. Needless to say, he sailed round and was placed 4th. 

Two weeks later I took him to horsham rc's x country at coomblands. He had never seen a ditch, steps or a trakaner and sailed round yet again! There was over 100 in that particular class and Indi was 3rd!!

There was another x country being held at the local rc's course so i took him to that. I put him in the ad. novice and, true to form, he sailed round. This time he won it!

Indi had the rest of the winter off and i brought him back into work in march 07. I have some small shows planned for him to go to starting late april, so keep a look out for updates on this site!!!

He is the easiest horse i have ever had the pleasure of breaking, schooling and competing. He is simply amazing, taking absolutely everything i've thrown at him in his stride.

This is Indi's first year at public stud, so if your looking for a genuine lightweight stallion then he's your man!
